This is for my neighborhood bookseller, who shrugged at my alarm that the vaunted Paris Review had been established as cover for the espionage activities of Peter Matthiessen; he told me his own C.I.A. buddy assured him that all the spies are liberals!
It is not for the Values
of Democrats or Republicans
that the C.I.A. works
in darkness, but in service
to Valuable, herself.
